The population of England is 10 times that of Scotland. It has been more than 300 years since the merger. Why hasn't it been assimilated?

Many times, it is impossible to assimilate a nation or a country and only rely on the long-term rule of a multi-core population. The assimilation of a nation or a country requires many conditions at the same time. The main reasons why England can't assimilate Scotland are: 1, Scotland has always been an independent kingdom; 2. Scots have always adhered to their own culture; It is not obvious that English and Scots live together.

Scotland has always been an independent kingdom.

Britain is a United Kingdom, which consists of four relatively independent kingdoms: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. These kingdoms have their own administrative regions and a high degree of autonomy within their own administrative regions. In other words, England has a high degree of autonomy within the administrative region of England and Scotland has a high degree of autonomy within the administrative region of Scotland. We can't interfere with each other and influence each other. Therefore, it is impossible for England to assimilate Scotland in rule.

2. Scots have always adhered to their own culture.

Scots have a very unique national culture and tradition. Over the years, the Scottish people have consciously adhered to their own national culture and traditions. Scotland is different from England in music, dance, language, clothing and diet. Moreover, for many years, Scottish leaders have been consciously guiding people to adhere to their own culture and characteristics. So England cannot assimilate Scotland.

It is not obvious that English and Scots live together.

Although the population of England is 10 times that of Scots, most of the English people live in the administrative areas of England and most of the Scots live in the administrative areas of Scotland, so it is impossible to assimilate without playing together.
